> [@theblue](#): > > supply and demand is a surprise to you? Yes, with an MBA in Finance the concept is completely foreign. Without the facts of how many will be produced its hard to determine if there is a supply constraint, but there are plenty of substitutes. R8 and Porsche are just 2 that come to mind quickly. ---

you’re overthinking… this markup is probably targeted at people with an income north of 5 mil. who want one now and don’t consider a 30K markup much of anything. chances are the same dealer will sell them at MSRP in a month, or even let you order on at MSRP today. and I didn’t say foreign, I said a surprise. ---

nobody with a 5 mil income is going to be buying a 3 series bmw, m-powered or not. ---

One example of this car selling for $100k hardly makes it worth comparing to other cars that actually sell for $100k. If you are that antsy to get one and are willing (dumb enough to pay), then you are the type of person that $30k isn’t going to make a difference to. ---

I agree I just saw it and figured I would post. I think the guys from the V2 forum are worried the V2 will be priced too closely to the M3. ---

Same thing with the Mustang GT500’s going for ~$90k at some places. Not quite the same markup % but still rediculous that someone would pay $90k for a Mustang. ---

Not quite the same markup % but still rediculous that someone would pay $90k for a Mustang. eh, I think the main reason for that is the nostalgic factor though (and having Carrol Shelby’s name on it). Not to mention, those will probably be worth some decent $$$ in 30 years
